drainpipe posted:Are there any good blogs for finding new shoegaze? http://shoegazeralive5b.blogspot.com/ http://whenthesunhitsblog.blogspot.com/ Also, these compilations feature a metric fuckton of "newgaze". Very hit-or-miss, but there's some good stuff in the mix: http://killredrocketrecords.bandcamp.com/album/killredrocketrecords-jesus-in-space-compilation-2010 http://killredrocketrecords.bandcamp.com/album/jesus-in-space-2011-the-resurrection Tre Past Cool! posted:Did you know?: Some people say Slowdive is better than My Bloody Valentine. These people are wrong. Wrong me the gently caress up then. Slowdive is achingly close to being my all-time favourite band. Under-appreciated gems (ie not on Souvlaki): "Primal" (AKA dat climax, AKA best song ever) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3TG7d9N7J4 "Catch the Breeze" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVY9p1IHops -> Kickass live version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-Y7fOYxl1E "She Calls" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxfydMKStuU&feature=related "Albatross" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woPp5R1KGX8 "Miranda" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jphrbNdXMc4 "Watch Me (Film Mix)" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u21beb1l2Ks "Untitled No. 2" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5TeFhHy71c Just so my post isn't purely a Slowdive wankfest, I'll make a massive recommendation of everything out of the Enemies List Home Recordings (http://enemieslist.net/kvlt/) camp. Most of the acts feature a similar aesthetic and penchant for genre-blending. Also going to +1 the recs for all of the post-Spacemen 3 splinter projects (Spiritualized, Spectrum, EAR, Sonic Boom). While I'm at it, LOOP!!!!!!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIKS1tFzvr8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbmhoMpoTac Main (Loop side project) are excellent too, but that's another tangent...

Aside from Slowdive, my other favourite band to be associated with the shoegaze/dream pop scene would have to be Cranes. They've got one of the most eclectic discographies in the genre, Neubauten-esque industrial -> Cure-esque goth rock -> shoegaze -> dream-pop laced electronica. The stuff from the most recent albums is a touch twee too, BTW. For the record, their entire catalogue is awesome. Made especially so by Alison Shaw's amazing voice. Favourite trax: "Things That I Like" : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t41z0_etxdk "Heaven or Bliss" : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPycEtV8lr0 "Give" : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftsHFDJIHrs "I Hope" : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=303UmEB4ZsM "Bewildered" : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a87YILRnK0o "Adrift" : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKZZ8NPSEUk "Lemon Tree" : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPRWYjjmZ0s "Flute Song" : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iQ_pzpF7lk

hatelull posted:You should absolutely work backwards and check out Pure Phase and Lazer Guided Melodies, especially if you're a fan of the dream poppiness found in LAGWAFIS. Lazer Guided Memories is one of my all-time favourite albums. It's definitely the band's most "spacey" and psychedelic work. I'd also suggest checking out Let it Come Down as well. It's nowhere near as "dream pop" as the earlier stuff, but it has an amazing "epic" (loving stupid word I know) orchestral quality works so well with J's established sound. "Out of Sight" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8fripJC6l0 "I Didn't Mean to Hurt You" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwL3siS5OUI

http://halfstring.bandcamp.com/ Got into this band recently and they've quickly become one of my favourites. Eclipse * Oval * Hue is a great place to start. "Oval", "Sun Less Sea" and "Arc-Fold" are the standout tracks IMHO. Discovered them via Captured Tracks' 'Shoegaze Archives' project, which has plenty of other good stuff (really enjoy the Should release in particular, and the Medicine reissues are excellent too).

JULIAN ASSANGE posted:Hope this fits in here, because these guys are pretty much genreless. This is Pram and they're very dear to me. They were part of the initial movement that coined the term "post-rock" along with Stereolab, Bark Psychosis, and Laika but come nowhere near the current definition of it. Is anyone else into that whole "movement"? Not much of a movement since they were all just bands doing daring things so none of them sound alike at all. I'm a die-hard fan of "first wave" UK post-rock. Love Bark Psychosis (Hex is the best album of the 90s), Disco Inferno, Moonshake, Main, Seefeel, Insides and, yes, Pram. There are elements of shoegaze/dream pop in some of the stuff, but I prefer the term post-rock. Long Fin Killie, Prolapse and Flying Saucer Attack are some bands from the UKPR "scene" that overlap quite easily with the shoegaze genre. Excellent stuff all around.

2013 is shaping up to be an amazing year for this genre. M B V, new Medicine single and upcoming album, Loop live reunion and now new stuff in the pipeline from Kitchens of Distinction: http://www.slicingupeyeballs.com/2013/05/07/kitchens-of-distinction-reunion-new-album/ Maybe the long awaited Ride and Slowdive reunions will be next...

robin_ac30 posted:A little birdie told me that the Ride one will happen, just not yet. So I'd imagine once the Beady Eye new campaign is out of the way... Neil Halstead was teasing it in a recent interview. Not holding my breath at all, but hard not to get little excited considering Slowdive are my all-time favourite band.

The new Medicine album is really screwing with my head. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. "The End of the Line" is great, though.
